Hello. Thank you so much for joining me. Welcome to learn how to transform a basement with electric floor heating brought to you by WarmlyYours. My name is Lynn, and I am a sales rep here. I am excited to show you how you can turn a cold, underused basement into a warm and welcoming retreat.
So why install floor heating in a basement? It's a good question. Basements are notoriously chilly during winter, often making them uncomfortable or unusable. However, with radiant floor heating, you can maintain a cozy, inviting space year-round. If you're thinking of adding a guest bedroom, radiant heating can make the space private and comfortable. Just add some soft bedding, unique decor, and cozy touches to create a retreat your guests will love.
Don't forget about the open living area. Whether you want a family movie space, a kids' play zone, or a casual hangout spot, a warm basement becomes the perfect multifunctional room. Radiant floor heating is also easy to install. Whether you've chosen mats or cables, it's a cost-effective option with minimal maintenance, and it can increase your home's resale value. In fact, one in five home buyers today consider floor heating a luxury worth paying for. It's efficient, modern, and desirable.
Our intuitive thermostats make control a breeze, and radiant heat is generally more energy-efficient than forced air systems. Take a look at this comparison: traditional forced air heating rises and collects at the ceiling, leaving the floors feeling cold. In contrast, radiant heating warms the floors and the objects in the room, providing heat exactly where you want it. This results in more comfortable, even heating that is also more efficient.
If you're planning to install tile, stone, or hardwood, consider the WarmlyYours TempZone Flex Roll or heating cable. The Flex Roll is slightly more expensive but quicker to install, while the cable offers flexibility and customization. Both options provide luxurious radiant warmth beneath your feet. For carpet, laminate, or floating hardwood, our EnvironnFlex Rolls are an excellent fit. They are quick to install and can be cut and turned to fit the room's layout. Please note that carpet applications are for U.S. installations only.
This cross-section shows how TempZone Flex Rolls are installed. The UL-listed, wet location-rated system is compatible with a variety of flooring types and is installed using a thin mat and a layer of self-leveling compound or thinset over the heating element. WarmlyYours Environn Systems offer radiant heating solutions tailored to specific flooring types, designed for installation under carpet with padding or beneath luxury vinyl tile (LVT) with cork or a ThermalSheet underlayment. This ensures gentle, even warmth using ultra-thin 1/16 inch cables and a low-profile layered setup compatible with concrete, plywood, or other subfloors.
This diagram illustrates the cable systems for floor heating. The cables are attached to the subfloor with clips or embedded in an uncoupling membrane. Just like with mats, they're UL-listed and suitable for wet locations. The cable system gives you precise control over the heated zones.
Last but not least, we're looking at our insulating underlayment. To increase energy efficiency, we recommend our ThermalSheet. This synthetic underlayment has an impressive R-value of 1.5, acting as a thermal break and proving especially useful over concrete slabs. It's mold and moisture resistant and works under tile, stone, LVT, or laminate.
